Strategy #1 – Control How Much You Eat
• Keep a food diary to plan your day and your calories
• Control portions – know your portion sizes, use smaller plates and avoid second helpings
• Slow down – give your stomach a chance to tell your brain that it’s full
• If you’re traveling, take shake mix with you

Party Hearty
• For a holiday pot luck, bring a healthy dish that you like.
• At buffets, take a tour of the table first, and decide ahead of time what you’re going to eat.
• Load up with low calorie veggies and salads, then take small helpings of the higher calorie items.
• Put choices on a small plate, move away from the table and sit with your back away from the food.
• Choose only what you really love and want to eat.
• If you overdo it, don’t make a bad situation worse. Learn from your slip-ups, and move on.
